I have had 2 rounds of a/c and should have my third tomorrow

My toes feel numb and of course I am especially aware of it at night when I want to go to sleep...

Anyone else have some neuoropathy on A/c

Thanks all

    I did but I am a diabetic and chemo tends to agravate neuoropathy, you should talk to you oncono about it

    I had that but only in my fingers. It has subsided during the 3rd week after treatment.

    Tell your onc. They did not do anything about but keep an eye on it so that it didn't get out of control.

    Take care,

    Tell your oncologist about this and any other side effects you have. He needs to know always, so that he can help you.

    Good Luck!

    Always tell your oncologist
    Always tell your oncologist about any side effects you are having during chemo. And, if necessary, call them at anytime if they are unbearable. Your doctor needs to know.

    Hugs, Diane

    YES! YES! YES! I absolutely
    YES! YES! YES! I absolutely did have neuropathy in my hands and feet! And, according to chemocare.com they are the two Most Common places for that horrid tingling and numb feeling. I agree, even if there is nothing your Dr can do about it ( and maybe there is) it is best to keep our medical team apprised of any and all side-effects, etc. Just cuz!

    Mine started in my toes about the 4th week of radiation. I am also diabetic, so will tell the radiation oncologist and my oncologist when I see them again.

    I did
    I too have diabetes, but my neuropathy became far worse during and after chemo. Tell your oncologist for sure..but I think it is to be expected with some of the drugs. My husband built a cage for the end of my bed to keep the sheets off my feet..that helped during the night and my diabetes doctor has just prescribed something new....but I have only been taking it for a few days.
